ESQUIVEL! The King of SPACE AGE LOUNGE MUSIC!

In 2001, I wrote and presented a documentary series for BBC Radio 2, “The Arrangers” produced by @elizabethclark. It featured Robert Farnon, Neal Hefti, Herb Alpert, Stan Kenton, Quincy Jones, Pete Rugolo and Mexican arranger/composer JUAN GARCIA ESQUIVEL.

His daring, explosive, utterly original arrangements fueled by jazz, pop, film and loaded with instrumental effects, led to a new style in the 1960s: SPACE AGE POP or SPACE AGE BATCHELOR PAD. Here is his story told by experts, critics, and by Esquivel himself!
